I would highly recommend using http://code.google.com/p/django-evolution/ over South

It seems the "What doesn't work?" section lists several significant gaps like ForeignKeys and other constraints. Isn't South much more stable?
Any particular reason why? South appears to be under much more active development.
To be honest I haven't used South in about a year so I don't really know how it has changed. But with South I always seemed to be running into issues of it allowing you to modify existing elements of your schema but not add new elements or modify types in your schema.
I started using South about two months ago for both my personal website (http://ankursethi.in) and a large-ish CRUD app that I'm working on. In both cases, South has been able to add to and modify the types in my schema. You should give it a whirl again.
i'm pretty sure south is the only schema migration app recommended at this point.
